HEXACO Personality Inventory (60-item)
Six-factor personality assessment — adds Honesty-Humility to the Big Five
The HEXACO model adds a sixth dimension — Honesty-Humility — to the Big Five. 60 items cover all six factors including Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience. Takes about 12 minutes.
Six dimensions of personality
The HEXACO model adds a sixth dimension to the Big Five: Honesty-Humility. This factor captures individual differences in sincerity, fairness, greed-avoidance, and modesty — traits that the Big Five doesn't fully cover.
The six dimensions
- Honesty-Humility — sincere, fair, modest, not greedy
- Emotionality — anxious, fearful, dependent, sentimental
- Extraversion — outgoing, lively, sociable, cheerful
- Agreeableness — patient, tolerant, gentle, flexible
- Conscientiousness — organized, disciplined, diligent, precise
- Openness — creative, unconventional, curious, imaginative
Why HEXACO matters
Research shows that Honesty-Humility predicts important outcomes beyond the Big Five: workplace integrity, cooperation, ethical decision-making, and the "dark triad" traits (Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy).
